Hey there guys!!!!!!!

HEY THERE GUYS, MY APPOINTMENT IS THURSDAY!!!!! I am very excited yet very nervous. I am nervous about the questions they ask and stuff. Can anyone tell me what the procedure is for the first consulting appointment?

By the way, my bingeing is over now. It was a first time thing for me that is why I posted the thread because I did not know why this was happening, come to find out, it was hormonal (of what the DR. tells me), I wouldn't start my period and thought I was pregnant, went to my Doc told him what's going on and my test was negative, and wouldn't you know it, I started two days later. He tells me that hormones play a big role in our lives, from eating to our moods to our hair, and not to worry if it was a one time thing. Thanks for your input anyways, I really appreciate it, now I am back to norm and don't even have an apetite...I ate oatmeal for goodness sakes:yuck:

You see this is what confuses the crap out of me, I don't eat much, I try to eat healthy, no exercise though...can't find the time, and yet I don't lose the weight and I am really heavy, and have been all my life. I see people 1/4 of my size eating like crazy and eating what they want and not gaining any weight:angry I hope the lapband help.

Well thanks for listening guys, could you give me some info on what happenend on your appointments so I could know what to expect. Thanks:help:

Hey roz,

I haven't had my first appt yet either so I'm in the same boat as you. I understand your confusion about small people eatting a lot. I have a sister who is about 5 foot nothing and about 98lbs. Almost all our lives she ate more then me, but she never got any bigger, and me, well I'm up to 242 now. It's difficult to deal with especially when its in your own family. My sister thankfully has always been really supportive and never shoved it in my face.

I to have been on never ending diets for most my life, periods of exercise etc. and I'm just hoping that this will be the tool to help me finally get this weight off me.

Good luck and keep in touch with me. Do you have a date for the surgery yet? Maybe we will end up getting them around the same time. :Banane40:

My first appointment is on Thursday, I am kind of nervous because I am scared of surgery as well. But I know that this is going to help me once and for all finally, I know that we could do it.

I have done it before by losing 120 pounds, and then gaining it all back. :faint: I just hope that this will help me. I get scared when I read a lot of the posts here. Like about slippage and erosion and people not losing weight and stuff, it freaks me out. So only time will tell. I will let you know how the appointment will go. Are you out of state? Your time tells me that you are in the UK.?

I was a bit freaked out to when I started reading about the diet and stuff. But there are hundreds more sucess stories on here then there are stories about problems. I think I'm willing to take the risk to be ride of this weight and be "normal" sized for the first time in my life. (well, since I was a baby :nervous ) My first appt. will only be on the 24th and I can't wait to see what he tells me. I need to find out how much it cost etc.

I live in Portugal. I am American (from Florida) but my husband is Portuguese and I moved here when we got married.
